Eligibility for credit.
(a)#
Subject to the limitations provided in this subchapter and s. 71.80 (3) and (3m), a claimant may claim as a credit against Wisconsin income taxes otherwise due, Wisconsin property taxes accrued, or rent constituting property taxes accrued, or both. If the allowable amount of claim exceeds the income taxes otherwise due on the claimant’s income or if there are no Wisconsin income taxes due on the claimant’s income, the amount of the claim not used as an offset against income taxes shall be certified to the department of administration for payment to the claimant by check, share draft or other draft drawn on the general fund.
(b)#
The right to file a claim under this subchapter is personal to the claimant and does not survive the claimant’s death. When a claimant dies after having filed a timely claim the amount thereof shall be disbursed under s. 71.75 (10). The right to file a claim under this subchapter may be exercised on behalf of a living claimant by the claimant’s legal guardian or attorney-in-fact.
(c)#
Only one claimant per household per year shall be entitled to credit under this subchapter.
